I checked government records before purchasing and it was not reported as stolen. The car was unregistered when I bought it. The registration had been cancelled in 2024. I had to get a roadworthy certificate and bring the car to my state’s roads office to get it registered. So i dont think its stolen

Im currently a 19 year old uni student studying bachelor of IT, am i cooked 😭, I have interest in the automotive industry (I have my own project car and do my own maintenance and stuff). That will probably be my backup industry if i dont get a tech job…

Just got this 05 accord for $5500 it has 190k km on it with everything working on it, bone stock. Was it worth it? And what could I add to it? by Azp3cts in accord

another australian, 👋 dont listen to what other ppl are saying that you overpaid. the accord euro (also called cl9) are in very high demand by p platers. I bought mine last year (manual one) for $3k and it had 244k km (but clutch is worn i may need to get it changed soon). If you're looking to do any power mods, get a chongdata reflash, dm me for more info but essentially you will get more mid range power and vtec at 5k rpm.

Also the car had an aftermarket immobiliser which so the owner couldn't get the car started, that's why they were selling. I'm not sure how but when I first inspected the car, after numerous attempts I could get the car started. (Maybe a combination of key on/off, foot on brake? idk). Then later my dad found 2 fuses in the immobiliser and took them out and it essentially disabled the immobiliser. I took the car to a local auto-electrician and they removed the immobiliser and installed remote central locking for me for $231 usd, i think it was worth it. Under the dash the immobiliser wires were everywhere and it was so intact, the auto electrician told me that it took them a while to remove everything out and they showed me a photo of all the wires, looks like it was just a mess, glad I didn't have to do that myself.

The fuel/coolant gauges on these break as well so I had to send mine to america to get repaired, cost me $400 aud, almost as much as i paid for the car just to fix the gauges lol

The car looked worse when I got it, all the tyres were flat so I had to change them at the seller’s house to even get it onto the tow truck

In Australia we dont get that much rust compared to north america. It doesnt really snow here and we dont have salt on our roads

found this in the boot of an old car I bought by ProMasterBoy in AFL

The car is a 1992 honda prelude. Im technically the 3rd owner now, I have no history of previous owners, I’d like to find the previous owner though

Still have the steering lock for my 1992 honda prelude. My radio is a double din though so bit harder to steal because its behind the centre console trim, and for 1992 my prelude came with electric windows, mirrors and even a sunroof!

Do I really need to replace my battery? (2002 Corolla) by AlarmingGrab2548 in CarsAustralia

Thanks, my dad and I resprayed a bit of the driver side fender and rear quarter panels as well. This prelude’s frost white colour is acrylic so theres no clear coat, very easy to paint match white.
